SMYRNA – This weekend marks the tenth straight year of an event considered a staple of the Halloween season, Roger's Haunted Hill. Those ready for spooks and scares can head up to Hopkins-Crandall Road at 7 p.m both Friday and Saturday.
Roger's Haunted Hill has been known to draw hundreds of guests from throughout the community, and organizers beg the question of prospective guests, “Are you ready to be scared?”
Those who attend can expect to make their way through skeletons, goblins, and the ever-appropriate for the occasion - dangling severed limb. The winding tour has been known to leave guests speechless and spooked, a goal consistent with the theme of Halloween.
The event is organized each year by more than a dozen volunteers – friends and family of Beverly Rogers.
“We bring something new each year,” said Rogers. “The kids come up with fun and interesting ideas and we bring them to life.”
Rogers added while it takes a lot of work and effort to put the maze-like tour together year after year, the reactions of the guests are absolutely worth it.
